One thing you will definitely want to do while you are in Destin is enjoy fresh Gulf seafood at some of our amazing restaurants. This area attracts some of the best chefs from all around the world who are eager to work with the abundance of fresh ingredients (and live in paradise while they are doing it). We hope you are our guest long enough to try it all, but here are a few of our “must try” seafood favorites.
Oysters! Try a dozen raw oysters freshly shucked and served with cocktail sauce and horseradish. Of course, raw oysters are not everyone’s cup of tea, but you can get them prepared a lot of other ways, including Rockefeller, buffalo, Cajun, and more! If you are adventurous (and over 21), try an oyster shot which is a shot of vodka with hot sauce and a freshly shucked oyster!
Go with the Cajun! You will see a lot of Cajun specialties on the menus down here and you won’t be disappointed if you try some. Seafood po’boys, jambalaya, and gumbo are just a few of the delicious options you will want to give a go while you are in Destin. Wash it down with a local craft beer and cheers to the Gulf Coast!
If you like sushi, get ready to be WOWED! The fresh seafood of the Gulf of Mexico allows the sushi chefs in Destin to create some of the freshest and tastiest sushi you will ever have. Some local places even serve their sushi with a FishTrax flag that tells you where and when the fish was caught! Cool huh?
Pro Tip: Many restaurants offer a “hook and cook” service so you can bring in your freshly caught fish and they will cook it any way you like!
